Employment Bill
9:45 am
Mr Brian Cotter (Weston-Super-Mare, Liberal Democrat)
No. Having heard Conservative Members waste time on the National Minimum Wage Bill by making endless and totally unnecessary speeches about Greek fables and people having their heads and legs cut off, I do not accept that at all. We had no difficulty in addressing the measure, because there was a clear line that the Low Pay Commission—[Interruption.] I must not verge on that, Mr. Benton, because you will rule me out of order. I am sure that you will give us wise counsel on the flexibility that we need to address certain parts of the Bill.
My main point is the need to ensure that regulation introduced under the Bill is clear and to the point.
